Lisa_White_1475760496 Posted March 28, 2019 Posted March 28, 2019 HI, We are a Pre-school that operates term time and last yer started a breakfast club which provides a service form 7:45 to 9am for children in Primary school and our Pre-School. In the Statutory guidance it quotes that for children Reception age and above we need to just meet the Welfare and safeguarding procedures. So for instance, provide a Key Person but we do not need to report on their learning and development ie provide a learning journal. The PSLA have advised the Business Manager that Reception age children or children under 5 but in reception should have a learnign journal? Is there anyone that would be able to help clarify this ? Many thanks lisa
finleysmaid Posted March 28, 2019 Posted March 28, 2019 I think if you look at the statutory guidance it stipulates 5 Providers offering care exclusively before and after school or during the school holidays for children who normally attend Reception (or older) class during the school day (see paragraph 3.40) do not need to meet the learning and development requirements. However, providers offering care exclusively before and after school or during the school holidays for children younger than those in the Reception class age range, should continue to be guided by, but do not have to meet, the learning and development requirements. All such providers should discuss with parents and/or carers (and other practitioners/providers as appropriate, including school staff/teachers) the support they intend to offer. Does that help? 2
